Error ratio

In telecommunication, error ratio is the ratio of the number of bits, elements, characters, or blocks incorrectly received to the total number of bits, elements, characters, or blocks sent during a specified time interval.

Note: For a given communication system, the bit error ratio will be affected by both the data transmission rate and the signal power margin.
